Ambrosia

Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh pineapple chunks*

  • 2-4 mandarin oranges*

  • 1 tsp. vanilla

  • ¼ cup frozen pineapple juice concentrate

  • 3 Tbsp. white or black chia seeds

  • 1 Tbsp. honey (optional) 

  • 2 cups red seedless grapes, sliced in half*

  • 1-15 oz. Can organic coconut milk 



Preparation

  1. Mix well the coconut milk with pineapple juice, honey and vanilla.

  2. Add the chia seeds and mix well with a fork or a wire whisk.

  3. After 5 min. mix again. Repeat this a few times until the chia seeds are well mixed in forming a suspension without any lumps.

  4. Set this 'sauce' aside for 2- 4 hours, or overnight.

  5. Cut the pineapple in bite size chunks, cut the grape in half and cut each section of the orange in half, or in thirds.

  6. Mix the fruit with the coconut-chia sauce.

  7. Serve it in a nice glass dish. You can top it with fresh raspberries, or add strawberries to the ambrosia for more color. This makes a nice holiday dish!
